Ok, ppls. I realize I've been gone for a *long* time. I was quite busy over the summer, as I got involved in an exchange program, that kept me busy, then went to Japan for a while, then moved. Across an entire continent. And now, things are just starting to settle down enough that I can write. I admit, I was disappointed that my last chapter didn't get as many reviews as I had hoped. But since this chapter is long overdue, I'm writing it anyway. So, to fergiaj, jen, Kallista Starshooter, angel313, sippio, and softball chick, my thanks.

Note: In re-reading this story, I've noticed *tons* of mistakes and plot holes, so shortly, I will be re-vamping, and replacing every chapter with its fixed version. Check back in a few weeks if you want to read it. I now have a definite end and epilogue(/prologue to sequel? Maybe.) but yeah. it won't be for a while, the ending.

So, just for the slight probability: I may (or may not) include a lemon in this story (If I ever manage the guts.) Do tell me what you think.

Disclaimer: Same old.

*RRRRRIIIIIINGGGG* Usagi jerked awake to the sound of her cell phone. Snatching the tiny thing off the desk and answered, after checking the caller ID. "Jii-san?" She croaked, voice rough from sleep.

"Hai. We need you and the other pilots to meet us at the old consulate building."

The delicate girl cleared her throat, and coughed several times. "Sure thing."

"Are you all right?" Dr. J. sounded worried.

"Yeah, I'm fine, you just woke me up, is all."

"Alright. See you soon." The line went dead. Usagi stretched quickly before getting dressed. She stowed her cell phone in her jeans pocket, and made her way to Quatre and Trowa's room. Fully awake by now, she rapped sharply on the rather thick door.

Poking his tousled head out, Quatre blinked sleepily at her. "Can I help you Usagi?"

"Yeah, Dr. J. called. He wants us all at the old consulate building as soon as possible."

"Ok, be out in a minute." Quatre's head disappeared from sight, and Usagi set to waking Wufei, which was easy, and Duo, which was harder, but manageable once she promised food. Hiiro joined the group silently. And they left.

Dr. J. tossed a tan folder on the table. "This girl has attracted the attention of several terrorist groups. How, we don't know. What we do know though, is that we need to get her first, perhaps recruit her." Usagi was the first to grab the folder. She flipped through it until she came to a stats page. She froze at the picture, the eyes that stared back out of the small, grainy photo.

"No." She threw the folder back on the table.

"What do you mean, 'no'? She has to be captured, or she will be at the disposal of terrorists." Dr. J. replied levelly.

"Hn.. We can take her in, but she will *not* be recruited. Is that much understood?"

"Why not? If she is skilled enough to attract attention, she may be an asset to us."

"I don't care. She will *not* be recruited."

"Alright, no recruiting. Now explain."

"I know this girl. And she has already seen too much in her life. I will not allow anyone to take away what little innocence she has left."

"Really? Then maybe you can tell us her name, and why she's so wanted."

At this Usagi gave a tight smile. "That's all up to her. To make this easier, I'll just arrange for her to meet us somewhere, she'll come willingly."

"Alright"

Usagi then pulled out her cell phone again, and dialed a number. "Hey, Taru. Yeah, it's me, the one and only." She laughed. "Sorry, I gotta keep this short, but can you meet me at our favorite spot? Okay, you need to bring some stuff, you're gonna have to leave with me. I'll be bringing a group of people with me. Yeah, you guessed it. Sucks to be you doesn't it?" She chuckled darkly. " I suppose it's to be expected. So, no you know part of what's going on, you know what do. Yeah. See you." She hung up. Duo cocked an eyebrow at her.

"Friend of yours?"

"Yeah." Usagi then smiled wistfully, before turning to leave.

Videl gasped, drawing her husband's attention. "I know where she is! I finally got a lock on her!"
